How hard are socials to set up? Has anyone any tips or experience in setting one up? Looking to do one in the Midlands area

Thinking a small one to see how much of a demand there is for them. We know Athlone hold some from time to time as well but not hears of any anywhere else

Hard enough we think start small do it right and hope it grows from their.

The way we see it the host are a major major component the like's of carry on camping and vanilla club the people who run them are non judgemental warm welcoming people who make anyone feel part of something bigger and that's the key we think

Find a pub or cafe that you could get comfortable with a group of people.

Book the pub / cafe ....post a thread telling people the time and date and the Town but not the venue until the lunchtime of the social.

Pick the time and date to suit you and ignore people moaning it doesnt suit them ...you can't please everyone

Decide if people have to be verified or not

People have to post in the thread that they want to go and not message you first to help you filter out people you don't want to go

If you want them to go you private message them and take it from there

Best of luck

They are easy enough to organise.

Pick a date

Pick a venue, reserved area or function room depending on how many people.

Get the list of attendees (Losts of people will say they will go but not turn up).

Have a good night

Just saying folks, not my business as I haven’t swung as they say but cottages for couples in cork, have three tree houses and 3 apts, all with there own private heated outdoor jacuzzi, in extremely quite location in middle of nowhere.l, and they are all close enough. Places are decorated super, I was there before and it would be perfect for a private social

Yeah that seems to be the norm to disguise it as a birthday party, which is a great idea. And a chance to get to mingle

Maybe attend a social for example the Envy one in Dublin. It's a great way to meet other people to connect with and you'll find people to invite to your own one.

We've never organised one, but our first social was made easy by the brilliant hosts who made everyone feel relaxed. Remember that you could make or break a new attendees Fab career as it can be terrifying for newbies, especially for those on their own who struggle with social anxiety.

You’ll be working that night to make everyone feel included. It won't be about you that night but you can certainly take a mental note of those you like for future shenanigans

Good luck

Attending socials is a good idea but the whole point of wanting to try and host one is something more local for those that can't make it to Dublin / cork ect

I know a few people / couples that are new to the scene and I also know a few people who have helped us when we were knew to the scene, so definitely understand that there needs to be no judgement and make everyone feel welcome.

I feel the pain there, I get some men have a hard time on here due to the actions of some others tho. But socials could be a good way to kick start something

Start small equal numbers of couples, single males and single women attending...arrange a place ,date that suits you and place that there's plenty of hotels near for ppl to stay at if outta there way! Best places are those who have private function areas or just public bar just book a table x

That place in

If you going for a private function room see what the cost is does it included finger food

If so use eventbrite/PayPal/revoult and sell tickets,make it non refundable

Just charge enought to cover room and food

It's a great idea lots of us swingers in the Midlands

The Killeshin Hotel would be good for a social. It's in Portlaoise. It's perfect for swingers stayed there a few times. It's swinger friendly as the car park is underground and goes directly to rooms no need to go past reception. The Spollen Suite would be good to book if you want to play after. It's a massive room two double beds and a big couch and it's at the top corner of the hotel so only one room beside you for noise. Just get another fabber to book in beside

Just start slowly.

Ask for interest and if there is then choose a date to suit and find a location for everyone.

No need to jump straight into event plans, just something smaller, more intimate.

We have one planned for next week in the midlands and all is looking good so far

Never knew the effort that would go into getting a group social going, learn something new everyday.

Still need to get myself along to one.
